MITTON, Geraldine Edith (text). Mortimer MENPES (illust.). The Thames. London, Adam and Charles Black, 1906.

8vo., Original grey-blue cloth with decorative boards printed in green, white and light blue, lettered in gilt with a gilt top edge; 55 colour-plate illustrations, captioned on the tissue guards and 20 colour printed chapter headings, pull-out map of the Thames and [2] pp publishers advertisements; endpapers far less toned than usual, a very good, fresh, copy with gist inscription, dated 1940 to front fly-leaf.

First edition. 3000 copies. This volume is unusual in that this was the first time such illustrations had appeared as chapter headings on the same page as the text matter. A laborious process, in that the paper had to first be coated (as the three colour process was only successful on art paper), the experiment was not repeated. A previous text written by Menpes' daughter, Dorothy, was rejected for being of an 'inadequate quality'.

‘A & C Black’s Twenty Shilling series of colour plate books, published from 1901 onwards, brought the world into the home at a time when travel, especially overseas, was much more difficult than it is today. For the first time books containing large numbers of colour plates – up to 100 per volume – were made available to the public at an affordable price.’ (Inman)

Not bad for the price..
Color: Light Green
Cute with enough space to hold your phone, small bunch of keys and lipstick. It went very well with my white outfit and similar colour sandals. I don’t know how durable it is yet as the purchase was made recently. Will provide an update after further use.

Perfect for concerts/events
Color: Black
This wristlet is perfect for events where you don’t want to bring a whole purse. It fits my iPhone 12 Pro Max and has an inside zipper pocket as well as pockets for credit cards. Sleek and stylish.
